City should consolidate to beat suburbs, author says

Albuquerque absorbed adjacent territory, grew faster, and spread poverty and public housing, while Syracuse lost residents and saw slower income and job growth. Consolidation with towns and Onondaga County is proposed to raise opportunities citywide.
